This makes me think of Rachel and Tobias.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcxMHhkzH_0[/youtube]

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo... said ooo

And the days go by....
like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own...
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered

He was no more...than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted...
something within him
But the moment...that I first laid...
Eyes...on...him...a ll alone...
On the edge of...seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo... said ooo

I went today...maybe I will go again...
tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...
familiar
And I see you doing...
what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...
and the voice from a choir
And a melody...nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo... said ooo

The clouds...never expect it...
when it rains
But the sea changes colours...
but the sea...
Does not change
And so...with the slow...graceful flow..
of age
I went forth...with an age old...
desire...to please
On the edge of...seventeen

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo... said ooo

Well then suddenly...
there was no one...left standing
In the hall...yeah, yeah...
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Oh I went searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs...and down the hall
Not to find an answer...
just to hear the call
Of a nightbird...singing ...
come away...come away...

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...
whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo...baby...ooo... said ooo

Well I hear you in the morning...
and I hear you...
At nightfall...
sometime to be near you...
Is to be unable...to hear you...
my love...
I'm a few years older than you...
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love

Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...

(repeat and fade)

So, I'm sorry for the late, but I'm updating the list now and even beginning to make the soundtrack file.

@LisaCharly: I put Matthew Good - A Silent Army in the Trees for #31, Matthew Good - Weapon for #33 after the other ones, KT Tunstall - Funnyman for #15, and for Matthew Good - Blue Skies Over Bad Lands I chose #50 because #19 already has a lot of songs and I think it fit better #50 over #29. But if somebody disagree, I'll change.

@Myitt: I put Modern English - I melt with you for Elfangor/Loren.

@Unknown user: I put Radiohead - Creep for #1 Tobias. Do you agree?

@Semeir: I put all your grass-eater songs where you asked. ;) For Delerium - Silence, do you want it for TAC too? For Enya - Now We Are Free, I put it at the end of the "total random" (CD3), 'coz I don't know where you'd like to see it...

@mohamedm1: I think it'd be cool for #9 ;) Tell me if you're OK for this place or if you prefer to see it placed randomly.

@invisiblecake: I added where you asked.

@russianspy: Superman (It's Not Easy) for Jake? It could be for Tobias, don't you think? Kansas - Carry on my wayward son looks like a song by Elfangor for Tobias ^^ I put them all where you asked.

So now we have:

CD 1
CD 2
CD 3

Tell me if you want I change the order or something. CD1 is for the songs who fit particularly one or 2 volumes, CD2 for the songs who particularly fit some characters, and CD3 for the totally random ones.

For any book but especially book # 52: Runaway Train by soul asylum[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDl3iUo__dY[/youtube][/spoiler]

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain


For Melissa Chapman: Acoustic #3 by Goo Goo Dolls
[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhYxlsH3Jmk[/youtube][/spoiler]

They painted up your secrets
With the lies they told to you
And the least they ever gave you
Was the most you ever knew

They press their lips against you
And you love the lies they say
And I tried so hard to reach you
But you're falling anyway


For Tom or any involuntary controller: Through the Glass by Stone Sour[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4iuf0YlDSc&feature=related[/youtube][/spoiler]

'Cause I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has passed
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real? So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins, contaminating everything


For book # 33: Iris by Goo Goo dolls
[spoiler][youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UeeIAJ0a0[/youtube][/spoiler]

For any book, maybe # 54: Name by Goo Goo Dolls

Okay I didn't see any of these songs yet!
[spoiler]Our Lady Peace – "Somewhere Out There"
Okay I know this song's completely cheesy, but whatever. Completely ignoring the fact that this song's obviously about a girl, I've always imagined this to be a hypothetical conversation Tobias imagines having with Elfangor after learning that he's Elfangor's son (book #23).
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbpRAxbNdqw[/youtube]

Last time I talked to you, you were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me lost out in space

Elfangor remembering the first time he met Tobias as he looked down on him while he died.

... You've gone to save our lives
I turned on the radio to find you on satellite
I'm waiting for this sky to fall, I'm waiting for a sign

Tobias thinking of why Elfangor left Earth and back to the war – so he could try to save Tobias and Loren and the rest of Earth. "Eflangor had run away from his duty when he came to Earth. He'd had no choice but to return to that duty. No choice at all, if he was to play the part he had to play, and be the great prince he was. I'd lost a father. Because of that fact. Elfangor had been where he had to be, when he had to be there, to change the lives of five ordinary kids forever. And maybe... maybe... save the human race." (Book #23, pg. 150) Also that last line relate to how for a majority of the series Tobias and the other Animorphs base their impressions of Andalites off Elfangor and expect them to come rescue Earth.

Hope you remember me when you're home sick and need a change
... I know you'll come back someday, on a bed of nails I'll wait
I hope that you don't burn out or fade away
All we are is all so far

Tobias hoping that Elfangor thought of him while he was away from Earth and tired from the war. *shrugs* IDK...


Better Than Ezra – "Breathless"
I've always thought this song summed up Rachel's strength to Tobias quite nicely, particularly in that beach scene at the end of book #33.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA84qKxqEd8[/youtube]

Here you are now, fresh from your wars
Back from the edge of time
And all that you were, stripped to the bone
I thought you'd want to know

When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless

... Lay down your guns, too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart, broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again

Rachel reflecting on the torture that Tobias just went through. Also here's an excerpt from the book that I always think about with these lyrics: "I started to run toward Rachel. She saw me and smiled. I slowed as I neared her, breathing hard. And suddenly I had my arms around her. I buried my face in her hair. She held me tightly." (pg. 154)

I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come now running headlong into my arms
Breathless, oh, breathless

This book focused a lot on Tobias not really knowing who he was, but at the end he realized it didn't really matter, except that Rachel loved him. "Who am I? What am I? A bird. A boy. Something not quite human. Something more than human. The person Rachel loves." (pg. 155)

So glad to see you smiling
So good to hear you laugh
I think that you've found you
Even missed yourself

After everything that had happened Rachel knows how to take Tobias's mind off of the pain and make him smile again. "Then, she said, 'Hey, it's nice and warm. But there are some killer thermals.' I smiled. 'Let's fly.' 'Yeah," she agreed. 'Right after I do this.' She kissed me. 'Okay, now let's fly,' she said and laughed her wild, wicked, self-mocking Rachel laugh. And in a short time we were coasting on a thermal, high over the beach. Over the distant hills. Over the city. Over everything. The memory of the mission was far behind. The close call with death forgotten. For a while." (pg. 155)


Valencia – "Head in Hands"
Song about Jake after the war (book #54). Thinking about some of the things that he had to do, his guilt of Tom's and Rachel's deaths, and his fallout from his relationship with Cassie.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsizrD485YA[/youtube]

Well, I've been saving my breath for another year
I've wasted my time of coming clean to you
On how I'm always catching up

Takes place one year after the war had ended. "Cassie was sitting just beyond him. We had exchanged smiles and awkward hugs. I had dreaded this for months. I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't know what to say to anyone lately. Maybe I was getting stupid in my old age." (pg. 81)

Head in hands, I find
That I've been fighting the words
This just isn't worth my time
It's not a way to die
Suffocated by stress
My life is a mess
It's not right

After Jake screws up on his testimony. "The prosecutor prodded me with questions. I answered them. But memories filled the courtroom. I couldn't get them out of my head. And each question triggered more... What was the matter with me? I knew I was screwed up. I knew I'd made a fool of myself. I'd let everyone down. I left the courtroom straightaway and found my way back to my hotel room. I sat on the bed and just held my head in my hands and stared. I don't know how long. (pg. 85)

Head in hands, we climb
Separated by fate
That got in the way of life
Of all the ways to die
Suffocated by stress
My head is a mess
It's not right

I dunno, basically the assumption that if certain things didn't happen the way that they did, Cassie and Jake may have ended up together, but fate got in the way~[/spoiler]

Ugh so apparently "Firework" by Katy Perry reminds me of Tobias now? I just decided this at work today when it suddenly got stuck in my head. I don't even like that song, but now I must have it for my playlist.

THAT SONG REMINDED ME OF RACHEL! I was thinking about the lyrics one day and how the inspiration for the song was loosely based off of Jack Kerouac's novel On The Road and the line (from the book) goes like:

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh.."

Idk it just reminded me of Rachel. I totally get what you're talking about though. I have that song and the song "Fifteen" by Taylor Swift on my Animorphs playlist. I don't even like those two and they just don't go with everything else on my ipod~ but whatevs.
And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

The song "This Is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars is such a perfect fit for the entire series. The lyrics, the key, the message...everythin g. In fact, this song is the reason that I got back into Animorphs over the summer. I reread the series two summers ago (when I joined), and thought it was nice for nostalgia's sake, but didn't really plan to read them again in the future. Then I heard this song in July and thought..."Animorphs." And I reread the series again. I'm cool.  

Edit: I fail with technology. Here's the link to the video instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KbMjkvGmd0

A warning to the people, the good and the evil
This is war
To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie and the moment to live and the moment to die.
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight.
To the right, to the left, we will fight to the death
To edge of the earth, it's a brave new world from the last to the first
To the right, to the left, we will fight to the death
To the edge of the earth, it's a brave new world, it's a brave new world
A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is war
Ohh, to the leader, the pariah, the victor, the messiah
This is war
It's the moment of truth and the moment to lie and the moment to live and the moment to die.
The moment to fight, the moment to fight, to fight, to fight, to fight.

I do believe in the light
Raise your hands to the sky
The fight is done, the war is won
Lift your hands towards the sun
Towards the sun
The war is won


Basically every song on their album "This Is War" can relate to Animorphs in some way. Heck, the album cover is a tiger. Jake, anyone?

I love their song and music video for "Kings + Queens." It's so beautiful, plus there's a Banksy reference :D

Sorry I have to necro this thread because I really like this song and it always reminds me of Animorphs.
